This weekend I was working on a shirtdress- Butterick 5846. I love the pleat & gather details on the bodice. It doesn’t work with a large print, though, because those are 1″ pleats and it seriously breaks the pattern of the fabric I was working with. And a circle skirt!

Cool patterns. My girl makes wedding and other styles of dresses…sometimes she will use a Simplicity pattern, or just do her own. It’s amazing how these dresses come into being just from a load of fabric and a focussed mind!
